Police: 1 shot in Brockton driveway dispute

Gunfire wounded at least one person after an outside dispute in the driveway of a North Quincy Street home shortly before noon on Tuesday, according to police.

The Enterprise reported that crews responded to 305 North Quincy St. after the shooting, which occurred outdoors in the driveway of a small, Cape-style house there, said Brockton police Lt. Paul Bonanca.

One male was shot in the abdomen after an altercation in the driveway, Bonanca said. The altercation involved two people, a male and a female, standing in the driveway and a person or persons inside a four-door, black vehicle, Bonanca said. At some point, gunfire rang out and the male was shot, and he suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Bonanca said.

The female suffered an injury to her hand, but it was immediately unclear if she had been shot, Bonanca said.

Authorities were reportedly searching for a black sedan that was seen leaving the area.

At least three shell casings and a pair of flip flops lay on the driveway of the small Cape-style house. Additional shell casings could be seen on a side porch of the house.

The victims were sent by ambulance to Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital and to South Shore Hospital in Weymouth. Their conditions were not immediately available.

A neighbor said the house is a rental property and its tenants change often.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."
